Geophysics relies on the principles of physics to understand our Earth’s interior, magnetic and gravitational fields. Your major will focus on the reasons why natural disasters occur, including earthquakes and erupting volcanoes. Learn how to apply mathematical models and experimental data to understand natural phenomena.  

Develop a deep understanding of the solid, liquid, and atmospheric elements present on Earth and other planets within our solar system. Use three-dimensional technology to map energy and mineral resources in laboratory settings. Collect data through fieldwork and use specialised computer labs to model and interpret our world on a global, exploration and environmental scale. 

Learn from world-class research academics in their field, inspiring you to pursue careers of interest. Benefit from industry collaboration, building partnerships with future employers. Bring together the laws of nature, from the smallest particles to the largest resources to predict our Earth’s future state.
